ANTIPOLO — Ginebra completed half of the PBA Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup semifinal picture after breezing past Phoenix, 112-81, in a game that hardly gave out any playoff vibe at the Ynares Center here on Friday night.
The Kings blew the game wide open with a 34-15 explosion in the second chapter to build a commanding 64-44 lead at the break, never to face any resistance en route to becoming the second team to qualify for the Final Four.
And by making good use of their win-once incentive, the crowd darlings have forged a showdown with Rain or Shine, which was actually the very first to advance following a 113-104 ouster of San Miguel earlier in the night.
Justin Brownlee led the way with 24 points, five rebounds, and five assists but couldn’t finish the game reportedly due to a hamstring injury, which he suffered during the third quarter, never to come back.
